I want to post the lyrics but am unsure as to its copyright status



and me, I want to say that i have this vague recollection that the phrase 'mad dogs and englishmen go out in the noonday sun' has as its basis a line in Shakespeare, but I can't find it! perhaps someone knows...

Noel Coward passed in 1973, so even in death+50 nations, this wouldn't be automatically in public domain until 2023. Since this is the entire song, and not a quote, it wouldn't fall under fair use. So it's a good bet this is a copyright violation. Gavroche42 (talk) 12:07, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
